We in Central Pa. lost all our ash tree 2 yrs. ago. I didn't realize we had so many until now!
It’s a shame Laramire and Norton use too be the main shipper for the louisville slugger bats for Major League Baseball
I'm from WV and you can see all the ones dead after winter when the leaves start to come back.
Stan to be such a mega yt celebrity you sure do a great job of answering your subs comments. I feel like i know you. There is always a common thread in your videos. General education, reviews or helping someone. I am glad your channel is doing so well. Your friend Larry C
So awesome to hear thanks man and really appreciate ya here 👊
I have a small one that’s infected in Maryland. Arborist told me it’s too far gone and treating would only extend it a year or two max. Gonna be cutting it down this winter. Good episode to cover this topic.
Get it down before it rots right.
Thank you Stan! You're doing a great service for you viewers with this great video!
Thanks Donald & super glad to hear you say that!
We took down 37 ash trees on are farm in southern Iowa.
We took the stumps out with a Danuser Intimidator tree puller, a lot cheaper then having someone grind the stumps.
Thanks for the videos Stan, I have watched a lot of your videos
Did you like that tree puller?
@@Dirtmonkey yes I do, it is definitely well made.
The way it is made makes it easy to go down along side the stump and take out the roots.
I am surprised how big of stumps I was able to dig out.
A good friend of mine, that has ran a dozer for a living for over 30 years said he would have torn up a lot more with his dozer.
He was impressed, I am sure he would have taken them out quicker than I did, but there would have been a lot more of the yard ripped up.
Very informative video Stan !
I had heard certain species of trees were dying but never knew of a treatment plans. Wes is very articulate in his explanation of why it’s dying and how to combat the nasty little booger.
Keep up the good work and I’ll see ya on the next one.
Wes knows his stuff.
Thank you Stan for another awesome video have a great weekend god bless
God Bless ya brother!
what an education!!! the guys like a thesauras of tree knowledge!
That stinks! Hopefully the ash population can eventually recover! Keep up the great work stan! Have an awesome weekend!
🙏👍👍
Sounds like they either get treated or they die. Maybe some will turn up that are resistant to the borers, or don't taste good or something, and they'll survive. If I had a mature Ash, I'd treat it.
They have all 9 varieties of ash trees in our gene banks. (20 in the US, and the worldwide seed bank in Svalbard, Norway) When the threat of emerald ash borers are gone, they will replant.
That was cool! I always wondered how they treat trees. It is sad that so many are dying. Thanks for this. I hope you and yours have a safe and wonderful weekend. 😊🙏
Thanks Beans glad ya like it & you too!
We also have emerald borers in Kentucky as well. It has been a hard way if you are a ash tree as values of these trees have declined . Pro tree approach is somewhat unique needs makes money sometime. Thanks for that unique perspective and videos are getting better with every video, good luck and stay safe.
Appreciate that James 👍
Hey Stan, this was a very cool video by the way. Very interesting and informative!
Thanks Ryan appreciate it!
guess we should require that the trees wear masks, get vaccinated and show us their card.
🤣🤣🤣
😢🎉😂 one comment such range of emotions lol perfect.
Good video those trees are Deafly worth saving keep up the good work my friend 💪💯👊
6:30 "Here's a couple of exit holes right here."
"That's what she said."
Nice one lmao.
😆🤫
There are dead ash trees everywhere where I live. We started treating ours three years ago. So far so good. We feel it’s worth the cost of $200 every two years.
Wow would love to hear your progress with that keep me updated!
Same here I’m western New York.
We started treating our younger ash trees after losing several older ash’s.
Looking at my backyard, comparing to my neighbors,( who don’t treat theirs) I can really tell the difference! Only wish’s I would have treated my older ones years ago! Such a great loss to the landscape.
You bet it's worth $200 a year. For the price of large tree removal where I live, you could treat for the rest of your life and beyond. $3-5 grand to remove (typical yard tree near structures), If you invest that in a broad stock index, you can take out 200 bucks a year forever.
@@dm7097 Treated mine in WNY several years ago. They want to do two trees now for $600 .. can't swing that, doing well some dead branches there for last few years, but leaves at the top filling out well. Hoping for the best. I know it would be expensive to take them down if it goes bad, but too expensive to treat right now.
@@samiam9008 seems pricey. I just paid less than that for 4 trees to be treated. (One they consider as two due to a split at the base). Good for two years. But there is a remarkable difference in the way my trees look.
We are in the Hudson Valley of New York and all and I do mean all of our ash trees are dead. This happened over The last several years. Thanks for a very interesting video. Love all of your videos!
Hate to see all those trees die for no reason
Now that was a good video! Thank you Stan for making that happen!
Thanks for being here!
Hello Mrs. Dirt Monkey, Thank you for taking care of Stan! I hope you enjoy him and his adventures as much as we do. It’s nice to see you, even if it was in stealth mode. NJ
I will pass this along😃👍
Wiped out all the ash trees here in Stevens Point and Plover. Some died. Others removed. Most were replanted with a different species.
West Coast is being impacted by sudden oak death, caused by the plant pathogen Phytophthora ramorum. To loose the coastal oaks in the neighborhood would completely change the entire environment. Can’t even imagine it. No cure so far.
This is terrifying..
This was an interesting and informative video Stan. I'm a huge fan of "Tree" videos. Many of these climbers are removing dead ash trees. How brittle they are is always present in the conversation. Now I'm realizing why there's so many dead ash. I also enjoy arboriculture information from knowledgeable arborists. I'm sure this guy is ISA certified. Thanks Stan...
Glad you like the video! I find this stuff super interesting & important too 😊
We were felling 50 trees a day, wedged down in one piece. Nobody needs to climb them.
The city just spent a month taking ashe trees down and some didn't look to bad but others right beside that when they put through the wood chipper is was just dust. Crazy to watch how fast they destroy complete section of forest.
We got them here in Southern Ontario Canada as well. Very interesting vid Stan.
Cheers 🇨🇦
Hope you can stay ahead of it up there.
Thanks for sharing this with us . Hope you have a great weekend. Take care
you to hayden.
Very cool video and very informative! There is so much more to taking care of Mother Earth then only reducing pollution.
true
Thank you Stanley for rising awareness for forest conservation!
Besides, the chemical control of the Emerald Ash Borer, biological control should be considered as well.
"with three parasitoids were the most promising: an egg parasitoid Oobius agrili (Encyrtidae), a larval endopara- sitoid Tetrastichus planipennsi (Eulophidae), and a larval ectoparasitoid Spathius agrili (Braconidae)."
Forest Service USA, Richard Reardon.
anything that gets rid of the nasty buggers is a win
I'd read they had already tried special wasps that ate them to control them biologically. It didn't work. I'm in Kansas city MO. I'm losing 5 trees. I'm so upset. I've been here with my trees since 1989 and my father bought the property in 1975. Not only is it beyond difficult to see them go, I sure can't afford to take them down or yearly maintenance to treat, forever. Thanks for trying to create awareness. My entire neighborhood is being decimated. Its the saddest thing and will destroy property values as well as being dangerous when 50 ft to 70 ft tress are falling down.
@@glennakatz1 So sorry to hear that but if American scientists have not an effective method to control that bug, those trees will be lost along with other species that are already in the same situation due to other pests.
Biological, thats a pipe dream every newbie EAB town smokes. inoculated trees kill EAB dead.
Stan, you and your editor are doing a fine job with the storytelling on these videos lately. Luv it man! I feel bad I didn't catch up with you further more at gie this year. Wednesday and Thursday were hectic networking and meetings at booths. You know how that goes. All the best. JTLK
All good Jake- always cool to see you bud!
Nice video again Stan! Thanks.
Thanks again!
Very informative video!!! Awesome as always!
Thanks Chris
We’re out of Milwaukee and we’ve been removing dead ash for years now. We’ve got knuckle boom grapple saw trucks and are hammering municipal contracts from Kenosha to Sheboygan
Dang.
I have lost all my ash trees the county came and removed them and i had my choice of replacement trees to replant them love all you viedos Jim Swanson oregon ohio keep up the great work
Pretty cool they would replace them for you.
Hey Stanley!!! I just started my company last season and have been EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for your videos!!
As a new business owner in landscaping I have been playing with best configurations of equipment in the field. I would love to hear your opinions in running trucks with dump trailers vs dump beds as I have noticed you don't seem to utilize dump beds.
Many thanks once again for everything you do!!!
I plan on getting into more details with my videos. Maybe that will help
I live in Florida, so had NO idea that this was a thing. Thanks for the info Stan!
Maybe you guys haven't been hit yet
Here in Colorado our city found them in our Ash trees last summer and they marked them and treated them. Interesting how you say they have to be treated every couple years. I will have to watch next summer to see if they treat them again. Thanks for this info.
Every 2 years according to Wes
Hes right. I'm in michigan and I've lost 80 to 90 percent of my ash trees on my property.
Wow that is messed up 😧
Dead ash trees have heated my home for over a Decade. I had
no idea at the time when die off started the Sheer scope of what was actually going on. I drastically underestimated how many ash trees they’re actually were. Was sad to see the forest impacted in such a way.
Very informative, thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
That's the issue is every 2 years it's $250 or the tree dies. A big subscription for some sticks. Delt with emerald ash bore in the Chicago area. Ash trees were really popular among builders. Cheap. Now whole subdivisions that are 30 years old look like they were planted yesterday. The only hope for ash trees is what the Morton Arboretum has been working on creating a hybrid of native trees and Asian ones that can survive the bore beetle
Hopefully that hybrid works
I have a huge ash tree in my new garden. I´m lucky that it is still healthy; and now I´m doing everything I can to keep it happy! I made a video about the progress in my channel!
Sure would have been nice to have this option a decade ago. I'm in West Michigan (up against the "pond"), had a few clients that lost trees, & all ya gotta do is take a drive or walk, & look. Thankfully, I'm very near Lk Micn, & after the white pines were wiped out to rebuild Chicago, mostly oaks, beech & maples took over (still got some pines! Lol)
Thanks for the info, not to mention all your content!
hate to lose good trees for no reason.
as a fulltime lawn guy, its not so much the brown turf that bothers me, its the amount of extra time spent picking up branches as they continuously fall every week
Those dead trees will be dropping a lot of sticks- good call.
Very interesting video, Thank you DM.
Appreciate the feedback bud👊
Hello, Hope All is Great. Have a great weekend, Keep up the great content.
Much appreciated bud!
I noticed the ash trees in my area dying off in the last three years. That's just when I noticed. These were super healthy trees! I'm in Scituate Massachusetts.
I'm in New York and they're dying really fast
This is the culprit
It happens so fast. Mine seemed fine last year. Maybe a dead or dying upper branch. Dropped its leaves in the Fall, then the leaves didn't come backI the Spring, when all the others in the area did. We got no warnings about this happening, so no option to save them. No one in my area here in MO even has the money to take them down, let alone 250/biannually, to try and save them. I'm losing 5 and it's devastating.
Great Video!
Thanks man 😊
Loved this one. Thanks!
Thanks!
Good to see that there are people trying to save the Ash trees.
Got to do something or we lose them all.
It is in NJ, and in Sussex County, where I live it will devastate the area. On our property alone, we have lost 3 trees, and the canopy on our property borders and street/roads are Ash. I am trying to save at least what I can on my property, at least a copse of them which give shade and beauty to our back patio. I am going to try using diy methods for now, as I can not afford professional treatment for all.
Can’t wait to watch it 👍
How you been Stan? Hope your going well and safe
Ready to rest 😄 lol hope you’re good brother!
@@Dirtmonkey Sure am Stan, just finished a big morning of hard yakka myself
Great video Stan 👍
Thank you
I am surprised that the map you showed had just a small dot for Colorado. I have known about the Emerald Boring Beetle for a few years now, and we have seen it in the Denver and Boulder areas. In Colorado, our pine forests have been decimated by beetle kill. The wood has a very neat looking bluish grey coloration if you can cut it down soon enough. When the needles turn red, it is too late as the tree is dead and all the wood is punky and powdery. The only way to tell is to see the holes in the bark. The cool coloration is from the bacteria that the beetles bring in on their bodies. Also, there is a new infestation that is threatening walnut trees. You never appreciate trees until you start losing them. We are in an arid climate, so it takes a long time for trees to grow.
That sucks! hate to hear your losing so many trees
Here in ny the emerald ash boring beetle is taking a number.
Interesting 🤔
Interesting video Stanley
Thank you sir!
I live in Western NY, I work for state parks and it’s devastated our ash population and I would say the numbers are comparable to other areas. Very few untouched ash left.
😞😭
Hey love the vid I do not know if you have noticed but I have commented it on every video in the past 12 days
You da man 👊👊👊
Hopefully you guys can save your ash trees. Here in southern Ontario if you see a dead tree, it’s an ash. My girlfriends property used to be beautiful with half a dozen big ash trees on it. Now they’re all gone. They’re gone everywhere here.
Mine are all gone as well. Pretty sad to see
West Virginia is really really bad with this, our pine and hardwood trees are dying too, some from insects, some from disease. These white flat worms with pincher heads are what actually does the eating of the roots and heart of the tree. I'm fairly certain they are selectively eating other hardwood trees aswell.
They could be jumping species then?
@@Dirtmonkey yeah definitely, locust, oaks and ash are the hardest hit for sure but I've definitely seen locust and oak with larvae, see oak lately with fungus growing throughout oak trees too, looks like white fungus grew into insect cavities in trees but don't think insects done those ones
I've been told the Emerald Ash Bore treatment is only about 30 to 40% effective and I would only recommend it to be used on large healthy ash trees. Ash trees are set to be the next American Elm tree. They all died from the Dutch Elm Disease so they are really rare to see around. The total American Ash tree population all the way up the east coast into Canada is already predicted to be 90% dead, dying or already infected.
Took two down for a friend. Four more to go :-(
Yeah- ash trees will be rare
EAB does not fatally disease trees. And following directions in 100% success.
Run away from anyone claiming full dose inoculations required for life of tree.
Become your regions most knowlegable reguarding everything ash &EAB. scottieashseed.wordpress.com
We only have American Mountain Ash up here in northern Ontario, it's mostly Poplar, Paper Birch, and of course all types of Evergreen trees.
Mountain ash is not actually in the ash family
I first heard about emerald ash borer 5 years ago. It was in my horticulture program at Triton college. It's sad to hear those insects are still causing damage.
sounds like its an epidemic to trees
Love the videos and my echo multitool!
Heck yeah 😄👍👍
I lost two in Indiana couple years back.
Funny Garden Answer was just talking about ash trees and how her town planted a bunch of them.
That’s awesome.
Not many left here in southern MI, but they do make some great firewood
yes they do.
The "Emerald Borer" got our Trees in Detroit, MI. back in the early 70's. My whole neighborhood had them and they were majestic, tall, and formed umbrellas on many a street They had to cut and burn all the trees in Detroit to no avail. I witnessed this as a young lad and it was so very sad.
Not dutch elm?
I agree it’s always super sad to see a childhood tree or even any tree get wiped out.
My yard was filled with Ash trees which were all killed. Ash is one of the hardest woods so they are a pain/costly to remove especially after they die because as the treatment specialist mentions they become brittle. Treat your trees and you will save A LOT of money and time.
You got it 👍👊
It decimated the ash tree here in Ontario Canada also
Wow.
@@Dirtmonkey My summer Camp had to remove hundreds of ash trees in Milford Ohio
I’m in West Michigan and pretty much all of my areas Ash trees were standing dead or fallen dead about 6 years ago. I didn’t even realize how many ash trees I had in my little 2 acre woodlot. I cut about 35 down of various diameters.
Stan he’s saying plugs there not there check valves and it’s only in the bark not into the cambium layer he’s drilling into trunk of tree which then the tree will have to compartmentalize the area of injection. I have done many I prefer the wedgle direct injection I feel faster and less time consuming. I have been treating a few of my customers for over 10 years here in eastern pa. But what ever works for there company and the are saving the ash trees it’s a plus for everyone and I agree infected ash trees get very brittle quickly main part of my business removals of dead ashes. A shame people didn’t listen to the advice to treat there tree years ago pay me now or later as he said if not treated the will die.
sounds like almost 100% mortatility of they are not treated in some way
Thanks for the info.
Our EAB started around 04-05 in my part of Michigan wiped a bunch out including the one in front of my bedroom window. No one could sell firewood unless it was from a store or relocate firewood out of state.
yeah- we can't move wood becasue of it around here
I prefer the to inject trees compared to spraying. We don't have a big problem with EAB but we have winter moth and gypsy moth caterpillars. I use to spray for it and would be covered in product by the end of the day. Now I just use Arbor jets Treeage and each tree has 2 years of protection. Best investment I ever made was buying their kit, I actually won the smaller kit at a class for the product. Great company and a better way to apply pesticides.
Nice- good to know.
Rainbow tree scientific advancements in Minnetonka, just ordered another case of there mectininte for ash treatments. The Q connect is the unit Wes is using here.
👍 yep
I'm just about 3 hrs south of Minneapolis/St. Paul and it's been around N.E. Iowa for 10years. I live on 3 acres and have had to have professionals take down trees the last 3 years. I usually try and take them down...but they're 2-3 times the size of the trees Stanley is looking at in the beginning of the video. The trees look and little stressed during the spring/summer, but still have green leafs....maybe the lower limbs will die...but that's also usual in the woods because of sun. Then the bark begins falling from the top/middle of the tree and by the next spring the tree is totally dead.
Prices sure are different here. We've been quoted 600-800 a tree...or just take it down for $1200-1500 for largest trees...depending whether or not if they need a tree lift. I just paid $4000 for 2 trees the size they're drilling and 3 twice as big and also to remove the stumps. I also have 2 fireplaces, and my sister has one, so I can always use some wood for the winter.
At least they make good firewood but its sad to see them go like that. better if we could harvest as needed
The whole city’s streets here were lined with Ash trees. They’ve killed off every tree in the last 10 years.
Sad
Minnesota was hit hard by Dutch Elm disease back in the 70's.
yes it sure was
Here in Eastern Ontario, there are Thousands of them Dead. Infant we are going Cutting tomorrow to help People that need firewood.
Awesome video, unfortunately my 10 or so remaining ash only had about 25% canopy this year in NJ.
Sounds like its to late for them.
@@Dirtmonkey Definitely, they'll be heading the house next winter.....so not a total waste
It looks like the plot to an origin crossover movie about Captain America, Wolverine, and Groot.
🤔😂
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
all my ash trees have died over the last few years on the plus side they stay standing dead for a very long time so its been a great source of very dry firewood
Nice. At least you’re still making use of em!
That's a big Ash issue. Some serious cost to benefit decisions need to be made.
Yup!
I think I’m going to start collecting ash seeds to grow and save.
I live near Detroit and saw an emerald ash borer on my shed in 2000. I had never seen an insect like this and almost took it to the county extension service. I wish I had.
if there is one there are thousands in the trees
@@Dirtmonkey Neighbors tree was dead next year.
My wife and I live in Liberty, Indiana. We had about 10 ash trees ,all are gone except one . Its still living but except for the top ten feet it's dead. I like trees but we are slowly loosing them . We also have one ash tree next to house along the driveway it's also slowly it's life about one-third of the tree it dead .
Once they show signs it sounds like you need to move fast to save them
Can't stop it Stan...seen a lot of treated trees succumb. Have removed a boat load over the last 7-8 yrs. Not worth the money to try and save in my opinion.
I agree I also run a tree business. All that chemical does is slow it but those trees will die
Thats to bad. wish there was abetter treatment then
They just now have started selling Dutch Elm Disease resistant American Elms. So you can buy American Elm again. Took a long time to develop though.
Too much international shipping. Its spread invasive insects, sealife, etc. This will just keep happening unless overseas shipping is reduced drastically, or we figure out a better way to prevent contamination.
I lost 6 of my largest deciduous trees that provided perfect shade around my yard. It was so fast that it took me by complete surprise as I was working away that year. The next year is when I saw 80% dead.
I have 2 trees and this year was the second time. My city is treating its tree and they pass their discount on to it citizen who want to treat their trees. People should check with their city to see if they have such a program you can save some money and save your trees.
Really important information to get out there. The part that struck me and a question that I’ve had is what happens when the ashes have been killed off. Will these beetles evolve to using some other trees? Imagine. And with global warming, protecting trees and our forests is paramount. Thanks Stan.
Right. Everything being connected and affecting each other like a domino chain...we really need to be more aware of this as humans with a responsibility to keep the planet clean.
In Asia there is natural predators to control EAB but not here but as officials say from Dept of agriculture we have given them some pretty bad bugs also research spotted lantern fly we were ground zero for that that one in eastern pa

@@Dirtmonkey Stan the American chestnut is facing a blight to.
There are a lot of methods of injections, and a lot of diseases/insects killing trees. In Michigan, Scots Pines and Austrian Pines are dying in droves by pine wilt nematodes.
That sucks!
This in Pennsylvania. Nearly all the trees at my suburban Philly property are infected.
This is ion Minnesota
Most treated ash trees will be killed by EAB because people don't keep treating them.
East rural side of Belleville Ontario Canada 2 acres at least 100 damaged or dead ASH trees .
Thats hardcore
I live near green bay Wisconsin and the bug is destroyed the 920 and 715. Loggers knew about this disease 15 years ago but the DNR didn't do much.
Thats pretty sad to hear.
Here in Michigan it's nearly impossible to find a live ash tree. At least from what I can tell. Where I mushroom hunt in Atlanta Michigan, every ash tree is dead
Thankfully we are seeing new ash trees growing. Will they survive?
Wish I knew about the treatment a few years ago. Lost two big beautiful ash trees to that darn bug.
That sucks- hate to hear that happened to you
that was cool to see very interesting
Glad you thought so.
